I heard the Swiss are going to pay about 2000 Euros a month to all even the unemployed?? Or something like this.Does this mean according to EU rules I could go and claim benefits there? If so Im on the next flight out

I still have a pic of the £18 Jacket Potato I had in Zurich when I was working there, and the smallest note I could get out of the ATM was 100CHF (£80). Fkn expensive. I was told the lasses on the checkout desks in MIGRO and COOP were on the equiv. of £48k pa, and the worst was the telly licence, think it was 480CHF pa for total shite, which is why I totally love the BBC and don't mind paying the licence fee here, absolute bargain.

Beer was £8 a pint but I paid that in Dublin too and the rates not as good there for what I do. I was on 1300CHF a day I think, nowhere near that in Dublin, think I lost money on that 'deal'....

It's been talked about in other countries such as Finland. It goes by names such as "the living wage" and has a number of variations and qualifications. One of the qualifications is usually that recipients must be citizens, so you're idea of moving to Switzerland is out.
